As for sujūd al-tilāwa (the prostration of recitation), some scholars hold that it may be performed without ablution. In any matter where the jurists have differed over its permissibility, there is unanimous agreement that the one who does it is not to be deemed an unbeliever. The majority of scholars also maintain that if a person apostasizes, his wife is not separated from him unless her waiting period finishes and he has not returned to Islam. And Allah knows best.
وأما سجدة التلاوة، فمن العلماء من ذهب إلى أنها تجوز بغير طهارة، وما تنازع العلماء في جوازه لا يكفر فاعله بالاتفاق، وجمهور العلماء على أن المرتد لا تبين منه زوجته، إلا إذا انقضت عدتها، ولم يرجع إلى الإسلام. والله أعلم.
